Plea against GCU VC referred to education secy
Lahore: Justice Umar Ata Bandial of the Lahore High Court on
Tuesday disposed of a petition against appointment of Dr. Khalid Aftab
as vice-chancellor of the Government College University (GCU) and
directed the education secretary to address the grievance of the
petitioner before expiry of VC's tenure.

The petitioner said that the respondent
neither applied for the post nor he fulfilled the criterion laid down
for appointment against the said post. He said the search committee of
the Higher Education Commission had invited 47 candidates for interviews
who had applied for the post of vice-chancellor.

The
petitioner pointed out that the respondent vice-chancellor did not
submit his academic certificates to authorities concerned as he had
third position in masters degree.

He, therefore, prayed that
the appointment of the respondent be set aside by declaring it null and
void and without lawful authority. Dawn

Rationalisation of teachers opposed
Fatehjang: The Punjab Teachers Union has criticised the
teacher-rationalisation programme of the provincial government and said
Education Secretary Aslam Kamboh was responsible for this anti-education
move.

Talking to this correspondent, the secretary-general of
the union's Attock chapter Mohammad Munir Butt said under the new policy
there would be one teacher for 30 to 40 students from nursery to
class-1 while from class-II to V the ratio would be one teacher for 44
to 50 students.

He said nursery and class-1 were the base of
education and appointing only one teacher for 40 students meant that the
government was not serious in promoting education at this level.

He said from second to 5th class, six subjects were taught in each
class and there should be at least five teachers for each primary
school.

Mr Butt demanded that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif
should constitute a committee, consisting of senior teachers from
primary and high schools, to draft a new education policy. Dawn
